and pyrite arc very irregularly distributed along a very schistose
bed of argillite and in fractured parts of adjacent, black,
dacitic tuff or greywacke. The mineralized zone is 5 feet wide

in places, strikes about 40 degrees west of north, and dips 39
degrees southwest. Tho rocks are cut by a large, black, basaltic
dyke that is somewhat sheared and mineralized, and this in turn

is cut by an oligoclase-diorite dyke 100 feet wide, which may be
responsible for the mincralization. A younger sill of fine-
grained material follows the mineralized scction, divides it in
places, anc includes blocks of mineralized rock. The deposit is
well exposed over a large area because a stream has cut into the
soft schist along the sill and the mineral deposit is seen to lie
like a blanket on the surface. The heavier mineralization appears
to be localized in a small area, since up and cown the hill the
schist zone is only sparsely mincralized. An assay across 65 feet
of the better part of the zone gave: gold, trace; silver, 10.5

ounces per ton; copper, 3.9 per cent; zinc, 4 per cent.

Other Properties. Between Lowric and Nicholson creeks there are

a large number of showings ,& mainly of sparse chalcopyrite, bornite,
